Abstract
Description
L'invention a pour objet un procédé de raccordement d'une couche mince électroconductrice transparente déposée sur une feuille de verte silicate, en particulier d'une couche mince servant de résistance chauffante sur un vitrage à chauffage électrique.The invention relates to a method of connecting a thin transparent electroconductive layer deposited on a sheet of green silicate, in particular a thin layer serving as a heating resistor on an electrically heated glazing.
On utilise en particulier des feuilles de verte à revêtement transparent électroconducteur en tant que vitrages chauffants mais aussi à des fins diverses, vitragesantennes le cas échéant chauffants, fenêtres à rôle d'écran électromagnétique...Green sheets with transparent electroconductive coating are used in particular as heating glazing, but also for various purposes, glazing that can be heated if necessary, windows acting as an electromagnetic screen, etc.
Or la pose des connexions recevant les câbles de liaison constitue un point délicat. Dans la plupart des cas, il est tout d'abord nécessaire de prévoir un collecteur de répartition du courant le long de bords opposés de la zone conductrice ; mais c'est sur les vitrages chauffants qu'on rencontre les exigences les plus sévères. Les pare-brise chauffants de véhicules automobiles, par exemple, doivent posséder une transparence élevée, supérieure à 70 % dans le spectre visible, et ne présenter en même temps qu'une faible résistivité superficielle, de quelques ohms par carré seulement. Leurs couches conductrices extrêmement minces en raison de la transparence exigée et par conséquent vulnérables sont alors sollicitées presque à leur limite de charge par une densité de courant relativement élevée ; leur raccordement doit procurer dans la zone de transition un contact électrique régulier et de bonne qualité, pour y éviter toute pointe locale de courant.However, the laying of the connections receiving the connecting cables constitutes a delicate point. In most cases, it is first necessary to provide a current distribution collector along opposite edges of the conductive area; but the most stringent requirements are encountered on heated glazing. Heated windshields in motor vehicles, for example, must have a high transparency, greater than 70% in the visible spectrum, and at the same time have only a low surface resistivity, of a few ohms per square only. Their extremely thin conductive layers due to the required transparency and therefore vulnerable are then stressed almost at their charge limit by a relatively high current density; their connection must provide regular and good quality electrical contact in the transition zone, to avoid any local current surge.
Le raccordement est particulièrement problématique quand la couche mince ellemême est constituée d'un film d'un métal tel que l'argent pris entre des strates semi-conductrices ou non conductrices de composés métalliques la protégeant des influences extérieures et atténuant la réflectivité. Déposées par des procédés divers, de telles couches à strates protectrices d'oxydes métalliques, dont l'épaisseur totale est au plus de l'ordre du micron, sont aujourd'hui d'usage courant.The connection is particularly problematic when the thin layer itself consists of a film of a metal such as silver caught between semi-conductive or non-conductive layers of metal compounds protecting it from external influences and attenuating the reflectivity. Deposited by various processes, such layers with protective layers of metal oxides, the total thickness of which is at most of the order of a micron, are today in common use.
Le document EP-A-226 901 décrit un procédé de raccordement électrique d'une couche conductrice déposée sur un vitrage et recouverte d'une couche diélectrique. Ce procédé a l'inconvénient de nécessiter de travailler à des températures très élevées lors de sa mise en oeuvre si l'on veut que celle-ci soit rapide et donc industriellement intéressante.The document EP-A-226 901 describes a method of electrical connection of a conductive layer deposited on a glazing and covered with a dielectric layer. This process has the disadvantage of requiring working at very high temperatures during its implementation if it is desired that it be rapid and therefore industrially advantageous.
De multiples solutions ont donc été proposées pour raccorder ces couches minces transparentes. Elles consistent essentiellement à renforcer la zone marginale intéressée par une bande conductrice nettement plus épaisse constituée par exemple d'un émail électroconducteur à base d'argent et/ou d'un revêtement obtenu par métallisation, susceptible d'être déposée avant ou après la couche transparente, en particulier pour constituer le collecteur ; la bande renforcée recevra ensuite, de préférence hors de la couche, une connexion soudée à l'aide d'une brasure à base d'étain ou pourra même être doublée par un conducteur de répartition du courant, fil ou tresse soudés de point en point ou mince clinquant métallique collé ou seulement pressé sur la feuille porteuse.Multiple solutions have therefore been proposed for connecting these transparent thin layers. They essentially consist in reinforcing the marginal zone concerned by a clearly thicker conductive strip consisting for example of an electroconductive enamel based on silver and / or of a coating obtained by metallization, capable of being deposited before or after the layer. transparent, especially for constitute the collector; the reinforced strip will then receive, preferably outside the layer, a soldered connection using a tin-based solder or may even be doubled by a current distribution conductor, wire or braid welded from point to point or thin metallic foil glued or only pressed on the carrier sheet.
Chacune de ces solutions possède ses propres avantages et inconvénients en efficacité, adhérence, aspect optique, coût, durabilité.Each of these solutions has its own advantages and disadvantages in efficiency, adhesion, optical appearance, cost, durability.
L' invention a pour objet de procurer un procédé créant entre une couche électroconductrice transparente mince recouverte d'une sur-couche non conductrice ou semi-conductrice, et un collecteur de raccordement une liaison sure et durable satisfaisant à de plus hautes exigences quant au passage régulier du courant même sous des densités de courant et/ou des tensions relativement élevées.The object of the invention is to provide a process creating between a thin transparent electrically conductive layer covered with a non-conductive or semi-conductive overlay, and a connection collector, a secure and durable connection satisfying higher requirements as regards passage. regular current even under relatively high current densities and / or voltages.
L'invention a également pour objet un procédé dont la mise en oeuvre peut être rapide sans nécessiter de températures élevées.The invention also relates to a method, the implementation of which can be rapid without requiring high temperatures.
Or, il est également connu par de nombreuses publications telles que le document US 4 106 930 que l'association de vibrations ultrasonores avec les procédés de brasage classiques procure des soudures très efficaces sur des supports variés, vertes et céramiques ou métaux et semi-conducteurs ; une telle solution est donc employée pour le raccordement de divers éléments électroniques. Dans le cas d'un réseau chauffant formé de fils parallèles imprimés à la surface d'un vitrage à partir d'un émail conducteur à l'argent, il a aussi été proposé par le brevet DE-A-1 807 862 d'élaborer directement les collecteurs par cette méthode en les posant à cheval sur les extrémités des fils.However, it is also known from numerous publications such as the document US 4,106,930 that the association of ultrasonic vibrations with conventional soldering methods provides very effective welds on various supports, green and ceramic or metals and semiconductors ; such a solution is therefore used for the connection of various electronic elements. In the case of a heating network formed of parallel wires printed on the surface of a glazing from a silver conductive enamel, it has also been proposed by patent DE-A-1 807 862 to develop collectors directly by this method by placing them astride the ends of the wires.
Selon l'invention, il est possible, à l'aide d'une soudeuse à panne chauffante soumise à une vibration ultrasonore, de déposer directement une pellicule d'une brasure choisie parmi des compositions à base de plomb, d'étain, de zinc et d'antimoine sur des couches minces électroconductrices transparentes recouvertes de sur-couches non conductrices ou semi-conductrices , la liant à ces dernières avec une bonne efficacité et une bonne adhérence même lorsque le film métallique proprement dit est recouvert d'une strate non-conductrice à base d'oxydes métalliques par exemples. Ces strates non conductrices, de nature à empêcher une liaison électrique efficace du film métallique sous-jacent avec une électrode déposée sur elles, semblent disloquées par l'énergie des ultrasons, ce qui établit une liaison métallique directe entre la pellicule à l'étain et le film conducteur mince sans réduire celui-celui-ci même dans la zone critique de la bordure interne. Il s'est révélé que le procédé peut aussi s'employer avec succès même quand la couche mince électroconductrice est constituée non d'un métal mais d'un oxyde métallique comme un oxyde d'étain ou d'étain et d'antimoine.According to the invention, it is possible, using a welding machine with a heating fault subjected to an ultrasonic vibration, to directly deposit a film of a solder selected from compositions based on lead, tin, zinc and antimony on thin transparent electroconductive layers covered with non-conductive or semi-conductive overlays, binding it to the latter with good efficiency and good adhesion even when the metallic film proper is covered with a non-conductive layer. conductive based on metal oxides for example. These non-conductive layers, such as to prevent an effective electrical connection of the underlying metal film with an electrode deposited on them, seem to be dislocated by the energy of ultrasound, which establishes a direct metal connection between the film with tin and the thin conductive film without reducing it even in the critical area of the internal border. It has been found that the process can also be used successfully even when the thin electrically conductive layer is made up not of a metal but of a metal oxide such as a tin or tin oxide and antimony.
Une pellicule de brasure tendre ainsi déposée peut servir directement d'amenée de courant à la couche mince, sous la forme par exemple d'une bande formant un collecteur qu'on soude localement à un câble d'amenée de courant. S'il faut faire passer dans la couche mince des courants plus élevés, il est recommandé d'utiliser ladite pellicule en tant que liaison avec un conducteur en forme de ruban métallique, par exemple un clinquant ou une tresse de cuivre, lui-même soudé par son intermédiaire. Le soudage dudit conducteur peut s'effectuer sur toute sa longueur ; dans de nombreux cas, il suffit cependant de l'effectuer par points espacés de quelques centimètres.A soft solder film thus deposited can serve directly as a current supply to the thin layer, in the form for example of a strip forming a collector which is locally welded to a current supply cable. Whether to pass through the thin layer higher currents, it is recommended to use said film as a bond with a conductor in the form of a metallic strip, for example a foil or a copper braid, itself soldered through it. The welding of said conductor can be carried out over its entire length; in many cases, however, it is sufficient to perform it in points spaced a few centimeters apart.
Selon le procédé de l'invention on obtient un bon raccordement des résistances chauffantes à couche mince en imprimant et en cuisant des bandes d'un èmail électroconducteur, en l'occurrence d'une pâte renfermant de l'argent métal et un fritte de verre à bas point de fusion sur la feuille de verre ou sur une sous-couche d'émail opaque appliquée à sa surface, en déposant sur ces bandes conductrices et sur le reste de la surface du verre la couche mince simple ou multiple, puis sur cette dernière, au droit des bandes conductrices, une pellicule étamée sur laquelle on soude enfin un ruban de cuivre auquel sera raccordé le câble d'amenée de courant.According to the method of the invention, a good connection of the thin-film heating resistors is obtained by printing and baking strips of an electroconductive enamel, in this case a paste containing silver metal and a glass frit. with a low melting point on the glass sheet or on an opaque enamel undercoat applied to its surface, depositing on these conductive strips and on the rest of the glass surface the single or multiple thin layer, then on this last, in line with the conductive strips, a tinned film on which a copper tape is finally welded to which the current supply cable will be connected.
En tant que brasure conviennent des compositions connues à base de plomb, d'étain, de zinc et d'antimoine. Des soudeuses thermiques à ultrasons utilisables aux fins visées par l'invention sont connues et disponibles dans le commerce.As solders, known compositions based on lead, tin, zinc and antimony are suitable. Ultrasonic heat sealers that can be used for the purposes of the invention are known and commercially available.
Il peut être utile de préchauffer la feuille de verre, par exemple à une température allant de 50 à 100 °C et le cas échéant au delà, jusqu'à une température maximale de l'ordre de 200 °C, avant de faire l'apport de la brasure à l'étain à l'aide de la soudeuse à ultrasons.It may be useful to preheat the glass sheet, for example at a temperature ranging from 50 to 100 ° C. and if necessary beyond, to a maximum temperature of the order of 200 ° C., before making the addition of solder to tin using the ultrasonic welder.
Le procédé de l'invention ne s'applique bien entendu pas seulement à la fabrication de vitrages chauffants pourvus d'électrodes de contact en forme de bandes mais aussi, avec les mêmes avantages, pour raccorder des couches conductrices à des électrodes ponctuelles telles que celles utilisées par exemple sur les vitrages-antennes. Il s'emploie avec le même succès au raccordement de couches minces semi-conductrices simples ou multiples servant de cellules solaires, par exemple dans les toits d'automobiles en verre.The process of the invention is of course not only applicable to the manufacture of heated glazing units provided with strip-shaped contact electrodes but also, with the same advantages, for connecting conductive layers to point electrodes such as those used for example on glazing-antennas. It is used with the same success in connecting thin single or multiple semiconductor layers serving as solar cells, for example in the roofs of glass automobiles.

La feuille de verre 1 représentée sur la figure 1 est pourvue sur l'une de ses faces d'une couche mince transparente 2 à base d'oxyde d'étain et d'indium. Cette couche 2 a été déposée par voie pyrolytique en pulvérisant à la surface une solution d'un composé approprié d'étain et d'indium qui s'est transformé en oxydes sous l'effet de la chaleur ; de telles couches d'oxydes peuvent être laissés à l'air libre sans protection spéciale.The
Le long de l'arête 3 du vitrage 1, on recouvre la couche mince oxydique 2 d'une pellicule 4 de brasure à l'étain ; de même le long de l'arête opposée. La pellicule de brasure 4 est déposée à l'aide d'une soudeuse à ultrasons de sorte que la brasure liquide s'étale sur et même au coeur de la couche mince 2 par la panne chauffante en vibration ultrasonique. Un ruban de cuivre 5 est appliqué sur cette pellicule d'étain et soudé sur elle par points en des plots 6 à des espacements A de l'ordre de 10 cm. Ce ruban, qui peut être constitué d'un clinquant ou d'une tresse, se raccorde directement au câble de connexion.Along the
La couche mince 2 peut aussi être une couche multiple, formée de trois, quatre, cinq strates dont une strate médiane est constituée d'argent et la dernière d'un composé métallique non-conducteur tel qu'un oxyde ou un nitrure. Le dépôt sous ultrasons de la pellicule d'étain 4 disloque cette strate supérieure isolante de la couche conductrice multiple le long de microfissures à travers lesquelles une liaison électrique conductrice efficace s'établit entre la pellicule d'étain 4 et le film d'argent.The thin layer 2 can also be a multiple layer, formed of three, four, five layers, one middle layer consisting of silver and the last of a non-conductive metallic compound such as an oxide or a nitride. The ultrasonic deposition of the tin film 4 dislocates this upper insulating layer of the multiple conductive layer along microcracks through which an effective conductive electrical connection is established between the tin film 4 and the silver film.
Le vitrage multiple représenté sur la figure 2 comprend deux feuilles de verre 10 et 11 liées par un intercalaire thermoplastique 12. La couche conductrice transparente 13 est une couche multiple superposant par exemple SnO₂-NiCr-Ag-NiCr-SnO₂, appliquée par pulvérisation cathodique sous champ électromagnétique à la surface de la feuille de verre 10 sur laquelle, le long de son arête latérale 14, une mince bande 15 d'une pâte conductrice à l'argent avait d'abord été classiquement déposée par sérigraphie puis cuite à température élevée. Une pellicule 16 de brasure tendre a ensuite été déposée à l'aide d'une panne de soudage couplée à un générateur d'ultrasons, au droit de la bande conductrice 15, sur la couche multiple 13 à laquelle elle s'est liée solidement sous l'effet de l'énergie ultrasonore. Un ruban de cuivre 17 est posé sur la pellicule brasée à toute la surface de laquelle il est solidement lié en contact électrique direct avec elle. Le câble de connexion lui sera relié.The multiple glazing shown in FIG. 2 comprises two sheets of
